Tectonic Boundaries Divergent
Apply different tectonic forces to plate boundaries. Identify divergent boundaries. Compare the effects when plates separate. For example, observe how the Atlantic Ocean formed. Predict the geological events occurring at plate boundaries at different locations on Earth
Tectonic Boundaries Convergent
Apply different tectonic forces to plate boundaries. Identify convergent boundaries. Compare the effects when plates collide, for example the formation of the Himalayas. Investigate the causes of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes. Predict the geological events occurring at plate boundaries at different locations on Earth.
Tectonic Boundaries Transform
Apply different tectonic forces to plate boundaries. Identify transform boundaries. Compare the effects when plates slide past each other. Investigate the causes of earthquakes, for example at the San Andreas Fault in North America. Predict the geological events occurring at plate boundaries at different locations on Earth.
Tectonic Boundaries Challenge
Apply different tectonic forces to plate boundaries. Identify boundary and crust types. For example, identify a transform boundary between a continental plate and an oceanic plate, where both carry continental crusts. Predict the geological events occurring at plate boundaries at different locations on Earth.
